Tower Hamlets 0 Stansted 6

Essex Senior League, Wednesday 28th January 2015

Six second half goals saw Stansted win at a canter against a young Tower Hamlets side at Mile End last night.   After a goal less first half were both sides had chances Stansted totally dominated the second half and on 49 minutes they were awarded a penalty after a shirt pull just inside the box but Dave Ratcliffe's spot kick was brilliantly saved by the keeper.  However the resulting corner from Dave Ratcliffe went straight in giving the away side the lead.   This lead was doubled on 54 minutes when the ball broke to Gary Rowntree inside the box and his good finish beat the keeper for 2-0.   The visitors were now rampant and on 63 minutes made it three when a free kick was headed home with ease by Callum Turner and it was four on 69 minutes when Callum Turner ghosted in behind a static Hamlets defence to finish from close range and grab his second of the game.  Things got worse for the hosts when they were reduced to ten men on 76 minutes for dissent and Stansted were to add two more goals before the end, firstly on 88 minutes when the visitors got in behind the Hamlets back line again and Callum Turner rounded the keeper and slotted home for his hat trick and secondly in stoppage time a ball struck in from inside box by Phil Siggins beat the keeper and went in for six although the ball did go through the net, causing some confusion in the crowd although it didn't matter by then as the game was already over as a contest.
